According to this excellent theory, "Dean" wasn't real, just a Pennywise manifestation designed to make Bill emotionally attach himself to him and try to protect him as he failed to protect Georgie. This would answer several questions about this character, and it makes perfect sense to me.
interesting theory - I also figured that kid is some kind of illusion.
the chinese restaurant scene is gold.
I was thinking this as well but I was not sure because of the restaurant seen with the family. Interesting though. Pennywise was definitely using the boy to get him riled up. The skateboard at the house going down the stairs as well as him conveniently seeing the boy in the street while he was talking to Pennywise in the sewers...Yep, I see why this would come to mind. I found it fake also because when in the fun house how did Dean get trapped? that didn't make sense to me.
shareDean was trapped when IT made it appear to him that there was a barrier there, which was real to him. The family who appeared with Dean didn't seem that concerned after Richie had just shaken him and yelled at him. And lastly, when Pennywise chowed down on Dean, notice how when the lights came up, Dean's body, his blood, and Pennywise all disappeared - transported away? Or all illusion?
Thanks for clearing that up. Definitely agree w this theory.
